Foundation API-> Permissions -> Custom roles retrieval

[gernot]

Hi,

How can custom roles, and their definitions, be retrieved through the Foundation API?
I need to be able to decompose each permission group (standard or custom) into a list of base permissions like _ReadProperties, etc.

Thanks in advance

Hmm, not sure if that informatoin is available through an API.  Your best bet might be reading the XML files that define the roles, or finding alfresco code that does (unless that's in ACEGI).

Unfortunately that's not an option, as I only have access to the servers through the APIs…
